Photos and Description of the Highlands vacation cabin rental 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, sleeps maximum of 8

Welcome to our log cabin on Big Creek. You and your family will be very comfortable in our creek-side mountain rental log cabin located in beautiful Highlands, North Carolina. The cabin was recently updated with all new kitchen appliances, high-speed internet, water heater, furnace, and pine floors throughout. You will enjoy our secluded location. We are on a private drive and the only sounds you'll hear while sitting in our large screened-in porch are the rushing of water from the creek, wind in the trees, and a trout reaching for a mayfly. The cabin sits at an altitude of over 3,800 ft. so the temperature is at least 10 degrees cooler than Atlanta and there is relatively little humidity! There are wonderful hikes throughout the Highlands/Cashiers area. After your hike you’ll enjoy a soak in our jetted tub. If you're looking for a pet-friendly vacation, you've come to the right spot. We consider all pets with the exception of cats.

Great Family Friendly Cabin

The Iverson Family Decatur (Atl), GA
Review Submitted: March 8, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
This cabin was charming, comfortable and welcoming for our quick family get-away. The kids loved playing in the creek (well supervised, of course) and we kept the fire roaring.

The owners could not have been more concerned for our welfare and enjoyment! We plan to return very soon.

What a great, secret getaway!

nctourism Charlotte, NC
Review Submitted: September 15, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
Thank you for a wonderful weekend! The cabin and location was perfect - secluded, but close to Highlands and the scenic destinations. Our old golden retriever had so much fun he had to sleep for two days to recover. And my older daughter spent hours in the creek looking for gold and playing in the sand.

Your cabin was very charming, the dart board/ping pong table were my husband’s favorites, and I loved just sitting on the lower porch listening to the creek. Dry Falls was spectacular – what a great area of the state.

We appreciate your hospitality and hope to return in the spring to see all the shrubs and flowers in full bloom!

Very private, but a quick easy drive to town.
